� I�EMO�tANDIIM DATE: July 25, 1991 T0: Steve Sarkozy FROM: Phil Carlson RE: PLe�NN2NG OFFICE HOURS, July 24, 1991 1. Tom Graddy, N�ncy Twa�dy; Mack Truck (633-4810) Rob Davidson, Everest Group (636-2812) Mack is considering selling the southern portion of its property �t I,ong Lake and County Road C-2 to the Saturn auto dealership. That part of the site is currently used for employee parking and used truck parking. In order to sell the property, Mack (and the �ity) must bQ certairt that the site will have enough parking and will be able to Function well and meet setbacks and other Code standards. The people from Mack and Everest came in to discuss the issue� that would be involwed in reorienting the site. � There is a portion of the NE corner of the Mack site that is �ur�en�ly vacant where the lot comes to an angled point north of the Fartridge Ro�d cul-de-sac. Mack would develop this area as replacement parking for the area lost to the Saturn site. We discu�s�d the setbacks in the Y-2 District that would apply and �iae parking standards for various uses within the building (office, ret�i� space, service bays, warehouse, employees). We n�ted that any new parking areas would have to be paved and landscaped. We informed them af Saturn's desire ta apply for a rezoning to �-3, and Mack is con�ide�ing the same, since the use (auto, truck dealership) i� the same. Mack is also int;erested in adding a 5,000-square-foot addition to th�ir building. They did not have a specific location or design warked out, but we said it did not appear that an addition of that six� would requize the entire site to be brought up to the d�sign standards, They will be back with a specific site plan proposal when they have a chance to consider the effect of the zoning standards. (Note: Related to this item, the City Councii indicated at the July 22 work sessi.on their willingness to consider a rezoning from T-2 to B-3 for the Saturn site, should Mack strike a deal with them.)
